    Mutazione isn’t a game to beat, it’s a game to play. We too often separate the idea of productive tasks from acts like drinking tea with a friend or trying to grow some flowers. But everything we do, if done mindfully, can be helpful for our own growth if we’re walking the right path. Everyone is their own garden, and Mutazione may make you a little more willing to plant the right kind of seeds for happiness.
  2. But the community itself is the important bit. The characters aren’t voiced, but they feel like they are. The text bubbles are sometimes animated, sometimes shaking with trepidation, sometimes small like a whisper, sometimes big with anger. And each character speaks accompanied by a sound. Miu, who becomes a close friend, is a lithe, cat-like creature with pointed teeth, and she sounds like the delicate plucking of violin strings. Jell-A, a sentient fungoid growth, is the town’s subterranean scientist, and his voice is squishy, but with a side of liquid dripping and bubbling in a glass flask. It’s excellent work.

Oh boy this game, I don't really write reviews at all, but after playing through this game i felt like i just had to. All in all I would give this game a 10/10 purely on the art direction, it is just stunningly gorgeous. Absolutely breathtaking environments, fluid animations, its just a treat to look at. The game play is nothing that amazing, it is basically just a visual novel but you have a great mechanic in the gardens of the game which are so relaxing and fun. I wont go to deep into the story but dear lord is it good. Its presented with writing as good if not better than any game ive ever played. Overall id give this game a 15/10 if i could, But please take some time and play this game you will not be disappointed.. Full Review »
